The Believe In Tomorrow 5K 2026

Lace up your shoes and hit the Indian River Inlet Bridge for a race like no other! Soak in the breathtaking sunset views as you run/walk this scenic course in Bethany Beach, Delaware. Hang out afterward for dinner and awards at Big Chill Beach Club!

 

Race day details are as follows:

• The race is Thursday, August 20th, 2026 at 6:00PM at Big Chill Beach Club in Bethany Beach, DE.

• Check in and day of registration will begin at 4:30PM. You will receive your race t-shirt and bib at registration when you arrive.

• Parking is available in the Delaware State Park lot. Cost is $5 for in-state vehicles and $10 for out-of-state vehicles.

• Sorry, dogs are not allowed in the state park.

• As this is a family-friendly event, our littlest participants (3 and under) in strollers are free and do not need to register. They will NOT be assigned a bib and we ask that they remain in their stroller for the duration of the race.

• Virtual Participants - Sign up as a virtual participant and run at home, or don’t! Either way, you get a race shirt and support our cause! Please Note: If you sign up as a virtual participant, your t-shirt will be mailed to you after the race.

• There will be a post-race party at Big Chill Beach Club with food, games, raffles, awards, and more!

 

Please Note: Thursday, July 30th is the last day to be guaranteed your preferred shirt size. All others will be subject to availability.
